There is no such Kolab version, it only refers to the openpkg version used
(if I am not mistaken completely). You probably have a Kolab1-cf  system
and the date before the openpkg number refers to the packaging date.

If you want to actively fetch email from external,
you need to setup a script (with fetchmail or something) for yourself.
Usually external MTAs will directly deliver to Kolab's MTA.

I do not fully understand your situation.
If postfix cannot deliver an email coming in from outside
it will log it and the reason.
